With books like The Night Circus and Caraval, the circus has become a popular topic for authors, and I couldn’t be happier. The circus presents such a mystical and mysterious setting for stories. To be honest, I am usually more interested in the food over everything else.
So, if the circus is as exciting to you as it is to me, I have some news for you, although it might make your TBR a little bit longer. But come on, our TBRs are never-ending, what is one more?
A Girl Made of Air is a new novel coming out at the end of summer. It promises to be perfect for fans of Angela Carter and Erin Morgenster. We all know Erin Morgenstern is one of my favorite authors, so that fact alone immediately drew me in.
Reading the summary just made me want to read this book even more.
“This is the story of The Greatest Funambulist Who Ever Lived…
Born into a post-war circus family, our nameless star was unwanted and forgotten, abandoned in the shadows of the big top. until the bright light of Serendipity Wilson threw her into focus.
Now an adult, haunted by an incident in which a child was lost from the circus, our narrator, a tightrope artiste, weaves together her spellbinding tales of circus legends, earthy magic and folklore, all in the hope of finding the child… But will her story be enough to bring the pair together again?
Beautiful and intoxicating, A Girl Made of Air brings the circus to life in all of its grime and glory; Marina, Manu, Serendipity Wilson, Fausto, Big Gen and Mouse will live long in the hearts of readers. As will this story of loss and reconciliation, of storytelling and truth”
